Italy vs All Blacks 2021 NH Tour

[Victor Meldrew]

One of the Italian players is a dead ringer for Basil Fawlty in a scrum-cap.

@gt12 Italy have scrapped, niggled, ridden their luck, had the rub of the green from the ref at the breakdown, met an ABs team that have put baby oil on their hands pre-game...

...and yet, are 42-9 down at home.

What’s your point?

[stodders]

@nostrildamus not surprising when there are next to no combinations on the pitch

yeah. Some players also too static.

[sparky]

Aumua has a double.

[stodders]

@nostrildamus think that comes with more game time and trust from playing with new teammates

[nostrildamus]

Our bench props are better than the starters IMO.
More hooker tries.

[sparky]

Conversation missed. Italy 9 NZ 47 with three to play.

[sparky]

Dane Coles named man of match. I'd have given it to Ofa T off the bench.

[stodders]

@sparky well, at least the ABs have shown they have a set piece they can rely on when the rest of their game turns to mud. Is that Plan B?

[gt12]

Replay of try scorer running back is Vaa’i

Even though the try scorer is Aumua

[nostrildamus]

I wonder who our starting hooker is for the next game.

[gt12]

Jesus, kick to the corner.

[nostrildamus]

How was Cane ahead of the kicker? better camera angle, please.

[mariner4life]

Nice grubber Havili you idiot

[nostrildamus]

good TO Cane.

[gt12]

That is Sam Cane!

[sparky]

All over. More catching practice needed.

Scrappy end to scrappy game.
